Dracaena compacta brown leaves and yellow leaves 🍂| SAVE DRACAENA COMPACTA!

[@valangstatolbert6775]

Good morning. You're such a breathe of fresh air. Thank you

[@marthelenada6197]

He encontrado videos donde dicen que la tierra tiene que estar un poco húmeda todo el tiempo. Incluso recomiendan regar de una a dos veces a la semana. Yo confío plenamente en ti. Si al segundo nudillo de mi dedo se siente seco, es tiempo de regar. Y eso se da a veces hasta cada 4 semanas durante el verano, con el aire acondicionado en encendido. Tus videos tienen el mejor formato. Concreto y conciso. ¡Gracias!

[@PlantsandLucia]

Muchas gracias por este comentario y compartir! Si, en el internet hay muchísima información de seguro. Espero tu dracaena esté muy sana 💚💚💚

[@QueenOfNY10]

Great tips , I just learned from you , thar my plant is receiving too much sunlight and not enough moisture , thank you sooooo much

[@littlevintagelife]

Finally a helpful video! My Draceana Massengeana continues to get brown and yellow leaves, but only the bottom.. I feel like I've tried everything but have been using tap water and only most once in a while. I live in western Canada so the air here in the winter is SO dry. I will try these tips and see if I can save my plant.

[@PlantsandLucia]

Soo happy this video was helpful 🙌! If you have any questions I’m here to help, and I hope your dracaena gets better 🤗🪴✨

[@littlevintagelife]

@@PlantsandLucia yes it already has!! I'm misting it daily & been only using filtered water and the yellow/browning leaves have stopped! 😁

[@MzCandyApple5683]

Thank you! I am having SUCH a hard time with my plant. I moved her away from the window because I think the indirect sunlight (we get a lot) was making it brown. I am going to try using a humidifier just in case though. I typically spray it once a week but no progress. It is also mixed in with a Money plant. I don't know if that is a issue or not.

[@crystalrenee420]

Hey Lucia it’s nice see you again and thank you so much for all the great tips.

[@PlantsandLucia]

Hiii! So happy to be back and in contact with all of you guys ♥️🌿 and you are very welcome, hope it is helpful!

Mines are 8 and 7 ft and are not doing well. Thanks for the tips they are really close to the heat.

[@arthroconidia]

I just bought a dracaena happy plant that’s on sale at a nursery store. Most of the leaves are turning yellow and some have brown edges. I repotted it with a new soil immediately after arriving home. Are these yellowing reversible or should I cut them off? Thank you

[@anainesrodrigues]

i love your vids. so educational and simple.

[@PlantsandLucia]

Thank you so much! Im so happy you find them useful ♥️♥️

[@VittorioRanieri]

Thank you for your explanation, Lucia. It helped me with my Dracaena Fragrans :)

[@PlantsandLucia]

Ah! I’m so glad to read that :-) !

[@stephaniemoragarcia7482]

Hi Lucia! I am loving your videos! Thanks for sharing all your info. I have a question for you, if we do have browning of the leaves but only at the tips, should they be plucked out?

[@PlantsandLucia]

This may be because of lack of humidity, how’s the air around your dracaena ? You don’t have to prune these. But you can and it will promote healthy growth (just make sure you provide humidity and she will be happy :-))

[@jessalinnguyen1504]

Love your videos! Quick and informative 🥰🥰

[@PlantsandLucia]

Thank you so much ! So happy you like them 😊

[@stepbrown2000]

What do we do if the leaves are turning yellow due to over watering? Should I change the potting soil?

[@nadinep.simmons9981]

Thanks for the video. I have to make a humidity tray. What type of pebbles should I buy?

[@PlantsandLucia]

Hi! You can get any kind of pebbles or gravel 😊. I usually use the pebbles sold for aquariums and they really help 💚 If you are having problems with humidity, you can find a video on how to increase humidity here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYDbmXWnqZ6lpbc AND the first ever video on this channel (How to make a humidity tray) right here kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqC7nWuEasZ-d6c Hope this is helpful, and let me know if you have any questions :)

Thanks lucia

[@ElMikey225th]

Love the video , great tips ! I just bought a Dracaena Massangea two days and some of her tips are turning yellow/brown . She’s about 8-10 ft from the window . I haven’t watered her yet because the soil still feels wet . But maybe she’s getting too much sun ? She’s about 4 and half ft tall .

[@PlantsandLucia]

Hi! I think it would be better to see it. Do you have IG? you can send a picture there and we can try figuring it out :)

Hiya. So for the soil . Do I just use potting soil with perlite ? Or I also have to mix with pebbles? I’m confused . Pls help.

Hi ma'am.. I loved all ur video it helped alot.thanks for some tips...😊

[@PlantsandLucia]

Yay you are very welcome !!

[@natestarliper4809]

Unfortunately I had to travel for work for multiple months and left my dracaena neglected during that time. It is still alive but I would say about 1/4 of the leaves have turned brown. How should I save the dracaena? Should I remove all of the completely dead leaves and trim the brown tips? What else can I do to ensure it revives/survives?

[@rosaliachavez9700]

Will changing the pot, help my dracaena? Also what's the best soil for this particular plant?

[@PlantsandLucia]

That depends on how big your dracaena root system is! Do you have Instagram? You can send a picture and we can figure it out 😊

[@rosaliachavez9700]

Hi, thank you for responding. Unfortunately I don't have Instagram.

[@devanste50]

Hello nice video so does that go for fertilizing does do they like fertilizing ? Because because last week I fertilized it and leaves are turning brown and yellow some of them so what do I do ?🤷🏾‍♀️

[@PlantsandLucia]

Hi! This is a great question. It may have reacted to the type of fertilizer or the amount. Maybe for now stop fertilizing and observe how she does. Also check if there could be another cause for the leaves turning brown/yellow. If you are starting with fertilizer, I'd recommend you begin with a mild one. Here is a playlist I have on fertilizer for houseplants: kzbin.info/aero/PLVX8D19ueuA8AXx10bEwX0Gw4anQiuflF Hope this helps!

[@devanste50]

@@PlantsandLucia thanks, I took off the leaves n give her a good watering I hope that helps her. How would I send a picture of her so you can see

[@mckennaschaaf6801]

Hi Lucia, so my corn palm is not a happy guy right now, when i first got him he did not have proper drainage which led to some root rot, I repotted him with fresh soil and removed the rotten roots, he has some new growth on one stalk but all the previous leaves are brown and yellow. As well one stalk has no new growth at all! What should I do?

[@perladelmar2637]

Excelente video

Hola Lucia, found your channel recently and playing catch up. Love all your tips and your happy disposition. Following you on instagram also.

Hi! Thank you for your message and for joining the community 💛☺️

[@mya0818]

What is the white stuff on the souls up top?

[@mimosveta]

In my case, it's underwatering, I know, i forgot all dracenas twice in a row, and one benjamina. benjamina almost died, now it's recovering, but dracenas really take forever to admit they are angry. one wilted right away, the stump of one started to brown, I chopped it up and leaves are now growing, it just doesn't have the trunk. and this one really sat there for months, and now, after I was out for 10 days, and came back, I see crown of the plant is brown. Should I cut it, to me this looks like the top is dead, and since she's growing from the top, I thought, cutting the top off, maybe would help, maybe new shoots would start to grow, but since it's compacta, I don't know if that's how it works? I don't want to lose her, I haven't seen that type since I got her, and I need her to complete my dracena collection... I have adhd, don't judge for forgetting to water them

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

Hey Lucia, this was a really great video! Dracaena plants are very sensitive to our water here in florida, it's terrible. I try to use rain water if I can collect it. Thanks for sharing!

[@PlantsandLucia]

Ah! Yes that is a great tip ♥️ so happy you liked the video 🌿🌿🌿

[@jess_tastic169]

Mine has brownish spots with orange boarders. Can’t seem to find out what it is and what to do

[@kyelerma2519]

Hi! thanks so much for your helpful video. I've been making sure to follow all these recommendations. I'm afraid that the leaves are still turning brown, including the new ones in the middle :( I'm from the Philippines, and it is quite warm right now in the summer. my Janet Craig is not in an air conditioned room. can it still be saved? thank you!

[@PlantsandLucia]

Hi! I'm sorry you are still having the issues..! What kind of water are you using when watering your plant? Also how often do you water your dracaena?

[@rcrystal368]

What kind of oil ?

[@jaqtaylor25]

Lucia what about fungus when the leaves have black spots surrounded by yellow outline? How can I save my plant? I did a neem oil/soap/ water wash for the leaves and soil. it seemed to stop the infection from spreading. Do I have to cut the spots off? a few articles I read said to remove the spots so the plant have a better chance of recovering.

[@PlantsandLucia]

Hii! Sorry to hear that! Hmm I haven't worked with problems like this.. However, do you have Instagram by any chance? Maybe you can send a picture and I can ask in the different platforms to see if someone knows what would be the best to do with it ♥️

[@jaqtaylor25]

@@PlantsandLucia Hi Lucia, I already pruned the leaves with it. If I run into this problem again I will send a pic to you on Instagram.

I’m new to the plant world and I purchased a Dracaena compacta from Lowe’s a week ago all the leafs are turning black and a little bit of yellow. What can I do to save the plant?

[@PlantsandLucia]

Hmm are you using tap water ?

[@Arisleidybloomfield]

@@PlantsandLucia i let the water sit for a day and I water when needed (finger method).

[@marcapatit0]

Thank you for the video and tips! I have a question: if my dracaena is close to an humidifier, it is dangerous to it if it still get a little air from my air conditioner? Greetings from Mexico :3

[@PlantsandLucia]

Hola ! Hmm it is not bad, as long as the humidity around her is not at 40 or lower.. if you have a humidifier, it should be ok but observe her and see how she reacts 💚

[@marcapatit0]

@@PlantsandLucia Thank you so much for the answer! 💜 I've seen your dracaena videos and I love how you explain and how informative they are, as a beginner with plants I'm definetely a new subscriber 🤗

[@YourFootballFanatic]

NEVER mist this plant. My plant was super healthy once I started misting I lost my plant. The water droplets led to fungul disease. 😪

[@nicolecruz1019]

Hi! My dracena has like white fuzzy mold on the soil? What is that and what should i do?

So I did a thing....repotted my dracaena margenata and seperated a pup from it, now both leaves' are yellowing all around the bottom😫 please give me quick rescue advice

[@kaleeholdren9448]

I don't know the answer, but I had the same thing happen after I was forced to repot mine due to a pup.

[@robynmax8719]

she is so sick...yellow and brown....wonderful new growth and today it has brown tips, help one stalk has NO leaves so so sad, it was a gift

[@PlantsandLucia]

oh no! Sorry to read this.. do you have instagram? Maybe send a picture there and we can see what we can do

[@Wellesly]

Is perlite good for Dracaena as it has got fluorides? Or it does not matter?

[@PlantsandLucia]

Hmm in my case, we have some perlite in the soil and she seems to be doing fine... But it's not so much perlite in the potting mix.. You can also add other things for drainage just in case, such as pumice ☺️

[@alexandertaylor2951]

Nice to know

[@rozeelipz2214]

My dracena is not in soil its in a plate that holds little water ant it don’t have roots it has a small trunk type where leaves are growing i bought it that way but now i don’t know how to keep track of it..i tried watering more often and less often too but still the leaves get brown and falls like whole stem with leaves.. can u help? I don’t think its normal is it?

[@PlantsandLucia]

hi! hmm I'm sorry, this actually sounds like root rot :(... But! Do you have instagram by any chance? You can send a picture and we can figure it out hopefully ❤️

[@ezekielzioncastspen1350]

They yellow now I can I reverse the yellowing? It winter time and I will stop using tap water

[@PlantsandLucia]

Yes you can! Depending on the cause of the yellowing you can try to fix it. For example, if it is because of tap water, you can try filtering the water you use, and then see how your dracaena responds over time 😊

I wish I knew how tricky this plant was. Now mine is dying and I am trying to save it. Not good for Colorado's dry weather and hard water. Don't buy this if you live in Colorado, only plants that have survived here are succulents and cactus, all others die within months.
